Straciatella is an Italian egg-drop soup. It uses a chicken broth base, and adds flavour with fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, and pepper.
4 cups chicken broth
2 large eggs
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
~¼ cup fresh chopped parsley
~1 tsp black pepper to taste
~½ tsp nutmeg (optional)
Semolina (optional)
Red chile flakes, or chile powder (optional)
Put the broth in a large pot, and bring to a boil.
Separately, combine eggs, cheese, and parsley, and beat until the cheese and parsley are moistened.
Once the broth is at a rolling boil, use a whisk to set the fluid whirling.
Slowly add the egg mixture, keeping the broth at a boil so the egg cooks quickly.
Remove from heat, and add pepper.
Serve immediately, or reheat and serve very hot.
